Extinctions could result as fish change foraging behaviour in response to rising temperatures
Fish are changing how they search for and consume prey in warmer waters, with models suggesting extinctions become more likely due to this behaviour change,...
Drug-resistant tuberculosis responds rapidly to bedaquiline-based second-line therapy
Patients who have drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) have a similar microbiological response to bedaquiline-based second-line medications as patients with drug-sensitive TB taking first-line regimens, according to...
SwRI scientists lead two Europa investigation teams

Microbial comics: RNA as a common language, presented in extracellular speech-bubbles
Single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, have developed many ways to communicate with each other. For example, they might use tiny so-called extracellular vesicles...
An alternate arrangement: how a propeller-shaped isomer can improve organic solar cells
Imagine technology as a race car speeding down a track – it can only go as fast as its engine allows. But just when it...
